This is the change set required to support the Berkeley file format, I'm currently working on a fork that is stable enough to release to do just the extraction I want, but feel it's only right to pass this on.

Yes, the Jellyvision/Berkeley Systems one that were based on Mac resource systems. The newer Jackbox Games and THQ releases are similar to JSON in construction. If you look at my profile, you can find tools suited to dealing with these more directly, but I've not had time or the ability to build on these for some time.

So, it is possible to unpack and pack those files for modding(YDKJ1) but only on Mac and not on PC, is that true?

The full story:
I would like to change some grafics to the old YDKJ game that show controller buttons and not keyboard ones.

No, it'll work for all those old games pre Jackbox - it's just that they were developed for Macs, the games are cross platform. The main issue is that you can't inject into the resource files with the current setup, only extract.

Not good :( , but thank you for your time.
I wonder why there is no program that can handle some game archive formats (pack and unpack), would be a great benefit for the modder community and at least it would become a realy famous program.

I know in my case it was because the idea behind it was to use it to rebuild the engine - but it ran into complications. I know the Jackbox games had modification tools written at some stage, but I can't find them online.

Funny detail: My harddrive was formated and i used a program(RECUVA) to recover my files and what happens: It can´t recover SRF files but it has recovered the files inside :)

@MartinDeanMoriarty Just wanted to tell you that I found this because I wanted to do the exact same thing; mod the game to add controller prompts.
